Hi
to say "we missed you" = tu nous as manqué (sort of saying : you were missed by us)
so why is it "Paul a manqué son train," = straight translation "Paul missed his train," and not "son train a manqué à Paul" or "son train Paul a manqué"? Thank you.
For the expression "There are plenty of fish in the sea" the translation for the exercise is "Un de perdu, dix de retrouvés". Could you also use also use the expression "Le mer est plein des poissons".
Can you explain the different use of punctuation after the greeting in the following two sentences?
Bonjour Laura, installez-vous, je vous prie.
Bonjour Monsieur Lambert ! Dès que j'ai découvert votre offre d'emploi, j'ai su qu'il s'agissait d'une opportunité à ne pas manquer.
Is it simply that the first sentence is shorter?
Word Reference gives architecte paysagiste as the translation for landscape gardener. Should it be accepted as well?
From my understanding, french does not put two vowel together and will use "j'", "d'", "l'", etc. if there is a vowel as the first letter. I also know that "h" is silent and also uses "j'","d'","l'". etc.
I would like to know why and if there other letters that follow this rule. Thank you very much in advance.
Bonjour!
I joined kwiziq today and I already love it! I just wanted to ask how to practice for a writing test because obviously you cannot predict the question. Would you recommend writing about everything and doing loads of practice questions (however that would take a REALLY long time)? Or do you think just revising and learning the vocabulary and grammar is enough? I just always feel so unprepared for writing tests so I hope joining kwiziq will help.
Merci!
Are there any lessons about how to read longer numbers, e.g. 4,500,000? Or years, like 1959? I feel like I've picked up how to read years from listening to podcasts, but it would be nice to be quizzed on them, and I don't how to read longer numbers.
If these already exist, consider adding links to them from this lesson.
Thank you!
Does on always take nous form of verb?Thank you
The lesson Question: Nous ________ insomniaques avec l'âge.
We're becoming insomniac with age.(HINT: Conjugate "devenir" (to become) in Le Présent)I wrote "devons" which is consistent with the exampls of Le Present shown in the Discuss and Learn for venir and tenir. But the answer that was stated as correct was "devenons". I am confused as this is not consisten with any of the 'ir' verbs I have learned so far.
"et les odeurs disparaitront comme par magie !"
I'm petty sure this should be disparaîtront, please can this be corrected ?
Thanks
Paul.
